5 Answer Key The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Act II by William Shakespeare Selection Test, page 261 omprehension H 2. J F 4. J A 10. F Literary Focus H 14. G onstructed Response 15. Students responses will vary. A sample response follows: ramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters do not know. One moment of dramatic irony occurs in Scene 6 when Friar Laurence brings Romeo and Juliet together in marriage. He speaks to Romeo (just as Juliet is arriving) about love, but those lines also tell the audience what will happen in the play. Romeo is too involved in his love affair to see himself or his beloved in these words of warning. The friar warns Romeo that love that is too passionate turns destructive. The audience knows that this play is a tragedy and that the love of Romeo and Juliet will come to a bad end. The friar even foreshadows the death of the lovers when he begins his speech, These violent delights have violent ends. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Act III by William Shakespeare Selection Test, page 265 omprehension J 2. G J 4. G A 10. J Literary Focus H 14. G onstructed Response 15. Students responses will vary. A sample response follows: Juliet uses words with double meanings to mourn for her cousin Tybalt and remain true to her love for Romeo, her secret husband. When Lady apulet labels Romeo the villain who killed Tybalt, Juliet says, Villain and he be many miles asunder / God pardon him! I do, with all my heart; / and yet no man like he doth grieve my heart. Juliet seems to agree with her mother s opinion of Romeo, but the audience knows what Juliet is really saying: Romeo is not a villain. True, Romeo does grieve her here, but not for Tybalt s death; she grieves Romeo s absence. Juliet later exclaims about Romeo, To wreak the love I bore my cousin / Upon his body that hath slaughtered him! She means she would transfer the love she had for Tybalt to Romeo, not in blows but in kisses. 350 Holt Assessment: Literature, Reading, and Vocabulary
